Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound penne pasta
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente.
  • Drain the pasta and set it aside.

Prepare the Sauce:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the heavy cream, buffalo sauce, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Stir well and let the mixture simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Incorporate the Cheese:

  • Gradually sprinkle in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Stir continuously until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.

Combine with Chicken and Pasta:

  • Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat it evenly in the sauce.
  • Toss in the cooked penne pasta, mixing thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated in the sauce.

Serve:

  • Plate the Buffalo Chicken Alfredo Penne while hot. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of Parmesan.
